Department of Philosophy
Thank you for your interest in the Philosophy Department at Loyola University Chicago!
Our department houses one of the largest philosophy faculties in the United States, representing a distinctively pluralistic approach to philosophy. In line with the values of our Jesuit institution, our focus is on the critical inquiry of diverse philosophical topics in a humble, respectful and diverse climate. We offer a particularly broad selection of in-depth courses at the undergraduate and graduate level that reflect our wide range of specializations and commitment to multiplicity.
No matter your goals and interests, the Philosophy Department of Loyola University Chicago will be able to enrich your academic philosophical journey.
